Both were influential figures in Hip Hop in their own right, especially when it comes to fashion, although their respective careers have taken different paths since then.<\/p>\n<p>Kanye went onto grow his Yeezy brand into a billion-dollar sneaker and clothing empire while Jimmy\u2019s Vampire Life Clothing company has enjoyed success among a smaller demographic. According to the Dipset capo, though, his status as a fashion trendsetter is on par with that of Mr. West.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a big difference between splashin\u2019 and fashion,\u201d he said during a recent visit to Hot 97. \u201cI\u2019m on the splashin\u2019 side, that\u2019s what I do; I drip. Kanye\u2019s more on the fashion side. I might not wear 90 percent of the shit that Kanye wears because it\u2019s fashion, I don\u2019t understand that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe might not get into 90 percent of the things I do, but we both complement each other for what we set. The trends that we did set moving forward and what we did for fashion was like an equal thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jim Jones on Migos being Rockstars, Learning from Nick Cannon &amp; Love Advice\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pWIw1iiB_6U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>However, Jim Jones admits there\u2019s another \u201cbig difference\u201d between his and Kanye\u2019s fashion footprints, and you just have to look at the bottom line to find it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he done took it to a whole \u2018nother level \u2019cause he figured out how to monetize it and make billions of dollars off the shit,\u201d he added. \u201cI look at him as a evil genius. A lot of times, I make fun of Kanye, but I\u2019m just a little bit pissed off at myself that I\u2019m not as dope as he is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cWe Fly High\u201d delved deeper into his history with Kanye West, recalling how Ye\u2019s close friend and collaborator Don C booked him and Cam\u2019ron for one of their very first shows back in 1997.<\/p>\n<p>He then talked about visiting Kanye at his home in New York City and seeing his closets filled from top to bottom with sneaker boxes. It was to the point that Kanye would let Jim take whatever pairs of shoes he wanted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKanye actually did a freestyle for me on the <em>Sizzurp<\/em> mixtape that I had,\u201d Jim said. \u201cI remember going to pick the CD up from the building that he lived in in Jersey. He had another spot out here in the city, I would go to their house and they would have every closet filled up with sneaker boxes stacked to the ceiling. All Nike shit, like, \u2018What size you wear, Jim? Take what you want! Just don\u2019t take the Jordans.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey was on it for so long. We started from pretty much similar beginnings with nothing and watching Kanye navigate through the whole <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> from when he broke his jaw and things like that, it\u2019s dope.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Mark Elibert\"><br \/>\n by Mark Elibert\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
